I'd be careful with the Paraframes... I have one, and ran into a little issue with the blade lock not securing itself. Two stitches and a scar later I'm not recommending that model of knife anymore.

But it does hold a great edge! Barely felt it slice in.

I have this knife, except mine is half serrated and in black. It's been my daily carry knife for about two years. It's a good, sturdy, lightweight, basic knife. Also the skeleton design allows it to be easily lashed to a stick to be used as a spear in a survival situation.

Second the opinions on the Brunton and the Gerber. Top quality items, definitely a must-have if you like trying to get yourself lost.

I have this paraframe knife, it works very well as a simple, everyday utility knife.

Second the emotion on a Brunton compass; they're good stuff, and if I were to buy one it would be a Brunton.

In typical REI fashion, they charge WAY too much at their normal prices. I usually leave their stores in disbelief at the attitude and high prices there.
The knife is decent, I have one and like it. You can also get it at Target.
The compass is ok at best. If you plan to use a compass, get a better one.
This is a mediocre deal at best- this is about what you'd pay for this stuff anywhere else. Not a great deal.

don't know about the striker and compass but i already have the knife - VERY good steel, holds an edge through alot of abuse and still sharp enough to slice into my thumb when i was checking edge...

ouch.

so yeah fairly good deal.

@messier104: And Gerber makes fairly nice knives - although this one is obviously bare essentials/bare bones

Brunton's compasses are always top-notch. I've used this one in orienteering, it does allow for declination changes (unlike many similarly small compasses).

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
